At approximately 2:20 a.m. Wednesday morning (June 10), the Vancouver Fire Department responded to a reported single-vehicle rollover collision near the 18900 block of SE 20th Street in Vancouver.
Upon arrival, responders found a single vehicle that had rolled over and come to rest on its side. The rear portion of the vehicle was suspended above the ground by a tree, creating a complex and potentially hazardous scene. A single occupant appeared to have been ejected during the rollover. The patient was conscious and alert when emergency personnel arrived.
Patient care was provided by American Medical Response (AMR) ambulance personnel with assistance from Vancouver Fire Department paramedics. The patient was evaluated and treated on scene before being transported for further medical care.
The collision also resulted in a small natural gas leak. Vancouver Fire Department personnel quickly identified and controlled the leak, mitigating the immediate hazard to the surrounding area. Northwest Natural Gas was requested to respond and complete permanent repairs to the damaged gas infrastructure.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the Vancouver Police Department.
